Handy drums sounds the most realistic to me and I've got pretty much all of them.

this plug in is my fav acoustic drum vst.

[quotezerocrossing]Here Comes The Flood is one of the best songs of all times.[/quote]
Not sure if i agree on one of the best but really it's a matter of degree. i like it a lot and the other version on Exposure which i actually heard before i heard the og.

This is the problem when people install a plugin and play with it for 5 minutes to make a snap judgement without even bothering to read the manual.
this^ it makes it difficult discerning what is/isn't accurate in the comments here.

if this post is edited -it was for punctuation, grammar, or to make it coherent (or make me seem coherent).

This is also the only one I use. I have 4 builds of it, the old ones sound cooler. It gets pretty crazy when you use square wave with toms.

Not exactly an answer to your question, but there are other use cases where they come very handy. I produce music for indie videogames from time to time. Hiring a drummer and recording in studio is most times way over budget, and quite often too time consuming for the project scope.
